This is what I received from ODJFS UI office:
The employer discharged the claimant for violating a company rule. Evidence
supports negligence or willful disregard of the rule on the part of the claimant. Ohio’s legal
standard that determines if a discharge is with just cause is whether the claimant’s acts,
omissions, or course of conduct were such that an ordinary person would find the discharge
justifiable. After a review of the facts, this agency finds that the claimant was discharged with
just cause under Section 4141.29(D)(2)(a), Ohio Revised Code.
This is what I sent in as my appeal:
I complained of company misconduct & workplace violence. Forced to work in hostile work
environment subjected to unlawful harassment &unlawful retaliation. Was harassed and
retaliated against after filing a workers compensation claim filing multiple discrimination
workplace violence and assault charges. I engaged in protected activity and conduct
employer knew about activity but continued to subject me to adverse employment actions
the protected activity contributed to the adverse actions. The infractions the employer
alleges I was terminated for has no merit. Management and others have access by way of
password to the community computer. It has always been a community computer with a
community user name and password. Management violated local 7 contract article
2117.27 Procedure subsection (a) regarding time lines & subsection (d) regarding
availability of pertinent records. Information was requested by union to management in
writing still have failed to provide. I was charged with a similar offense in conjunction with
the Internet offense was offered an arrangement by management. Management is
attempting to convict me of two separate charges based upon the same conduct.
Can you tell me what else I should mention when I appeal this decision?
